Description
Arnold and colleagues describe a youth-driven approach to sharing research findings about child farmworkers' health in North Carolina, in 2026 community research. Academic results rarely reach the communities studied. The team therefore partnered with rural youth from Latine farmworker families in a leadership program to design infographics presenting the findings on young workers' health and safety. The paper walks through the development and dissemination process and reflects on lessons from working as partners with the young people.
The youth collaborators shaped the content and the language of the infographics, choosing which findings mattered most to families like theirs and how to phrase risks without jargon. Distribution targeted community settings rather than journals. Arnold argues the process built literacy and leadership in the youth, beyond the products created. The model, they suggest, transfers to topics where affected communities are young, rural, or Spanish-speaking and poorly served by academic publishing.
